Unfortuantely I am competing tomorrow with my horse so I can't come shame.

There will be plenty of other times
Good luck with the riding.

[Trugga]

Go on then, I'll start:





And a little video clip

Not as many/much as I normally take, as we ambled along at quite a pace and were keen that out two groups kept some space between them.

Even so, a cracking day out with some different and excellent scenary.

Cheers Ste for the invite.

Looks like you had a good time, chaps

[Trugga]

I see Drift is back, Ian - are you back OK yet ? we need to hear of your first foray out into the countryside.

Lawrence

[**Ian**]

We had a cracking day, apart from the shame of being towed up the hill by a landy I might need to wash it now










Ian

[Drift]

I got home 1810 all save and well.
As Lawrence said not many pics but a great day.

And last but not least the greenlane virgin is the dirtiest

Nice pics guys

How come you had to be towed, Ian?

[Drift]

He he Ian has a story, we cant comment but we listened to it over the cb as we where in group one, but to be fair it was on about the hardest stretch of the whole trip.
Ste

[Trugga]

Er, it was a bit steep I was in 1st gear low 4 and had all 4 wheels spinning - I had to take a second run at it.

The surface was a boken concrete center, with leafy mud to the edges and very narrow. There were also tree roots to clamber over - a very steep hill indeed.

In hind sight... all jolly good fun.

Lawrence

[fuzion]

Dont worry Ian, i only popped my laning cherry the other week.

I nearly burned out my clutch, until i was given a quick guide to using low box

[**Ian**]

I just couldnt get any grip on the damp rocks on the narrow steep hill, it just kept spinning up the wheels Then the nissan patrol came down the hill backwards to give me a tow and his battery died so we ended up backing all 3 cars down the hill past 3 Trail bike riders who also got stuck and a bunch of very annoying ramblers I think it was a power versus weight/grip issue.

Ian

[fuzion]

Still, glad you made it up safe, mate

[Red Oktober]

looks like i'm not the only rear wheel lifter ste
i'm jealous you all had a good day

[Trugga]

Does my car really look that good
